He boxed me neat all right. 1 Wouldn't have defended myself and he knew it, but I’d defend Julie Hageman until 1 was blue tn the face. “You got a bet!” I snapped. “You’re mad now,” Cord said gently. “But I’m doing you a favor. All for you, and someday you’ll thank me for It,” “For me, bell! You just like to run after women!” The pleasure vanished from his eyes so quickly 1 could hardly believe It, and his voice held a sharp-edged chilL “Now you know that’s a lie, boy.

How can 1 explain? ; To say that ne just plain scared 1 me sometimes wouldn't be tne- - whole truth. Or to say that 1 ; gave tn all the time because ne was my oidet brother and about all the father 1 remembered wouldn't be the truth either I : was some scared of mm ana some tn awe ot mm, and a tot oen< den to him, and 1 wondered if I’d ever get completely away 'rom mm. Sometimes 1 thought to myself that if 1 didn't. I'd nevet oe my own man. I’d end up .ike Luther, so -taller oroke that ne couldn’t sneeze unless Cora said it was all right. Or maybe I’d end up married like Luther co a woman Cord had picked. Or like Ma. so blinded that she thought of Cord as kin to God. 1 never entertained these thoughts about Cord unless ae got me good and mad, and then 1, could pick him apart without mercy. • • • Always before, 1 could work oft a good mad in one day, out this one clung like beggar lice. 1 dug post noles until my back was fit to break, getting ready for that fence we would someday be able to afford. Cord didn’t turn a lick to nelp and I took a savage pleasure in doing 1t all alone. 1 say alone because Luther was always riding oft toward the river with Edna. They’d stay all day and come back just tn time to set down to the supper table. .1 spent a whole day near Wade Everett's place, rebunchmg the herd we mean? to ship. 1 dragged in around dusk and when" Ma called me tor supper, 1 had naif a mini not to answer. But the other half told me that I would only make things worse, for Cord would come out and get me, giving me a public lecture on sulking, which 1 wasn't in the mood to take. Ma had the table set and Edna was placing the platters of food. Luther came into the Kitchen, freshly scrubbed: he sat down immediately. I was at the sink cleaning up when Cord came in. He looked at Luther and asked, “When are you going to get that river bank explored?" "Aw, shut up," Luther said. Edna stood by her chair and then Cord smiled and pulled tt bask for her, adjusting it when she sat down. Luther looked around in Ume to see this and his face flushed darkly for he should have performed that small cdtirtesy Instead of Cord. Edna didn’t look at her bus-

Disagreed On Labor Program Os Eisenhower Education Measures Likely To Be Given Priority This Year WASHINGTON* (UP)—Congressional reaction to President Eisenhower's program of labor legislation indicated fc'tqy the administration must settle this year for iisUi a loai or jess.__ _ House and Senate spokesmen on labor legislation believe there is a good chance for passage of a bill to safeguard employe welfare funds if it does not become entangled in more controversial proposals. There was greater disagreement on other administration recommendations, particularly some of those involving amendments to the Taft-Hartley law and seeking to enforce secret balloting in union affairs. Both the House and Senate labor committees have been at work on bills to protect union welfare and pension funds. But both now are tied up with education bills which probably will get priority over Ibaor legislation this year. The President sent his program to Congress in a special message Thursday- Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-N.J.), senior GOP member of the Senate Labor Committee, introduced bills to carry it out. , AFL-CIO Pres ide n t George Meany said some of the administration proposals "could easily lead to legislation demanding in effect, licensing of trade unions." He said the labor movement had fought for welfare fund disclosure laws but these were blocked by employers. Ax -J. Hayes, president of the million-member AFL-CIO Machinists Union, said some proposals involved internal control of unions and might lead to Hitler-like government domination. “The next step will be for the government to select officers of trade unions," !he said. “We're against it." he ! said his union does, however,“favor full disclosure of health and welfare funds.

"Cord," 1 said, “Bill Hageman's coming over to talk to you* in a day or so." He stopped with his fork half raised. “What about ?" "About the quarrel you and nim had. Julie thinks it ought to be patched up." “You oeen back over thare since 1 talked to you?” "No," 1 said. "We talked about it the last time 1 was there." “We ?" I’d put my foot .in it without thinking, but I decided to play it bold. “Yea," 1 said. “I guess we can understand why you spoke, a little nard to Bill in town; everyone's been peel'd about the stock that turns up missing. But there’s others in this beside cattlemen, Cord, rhe farmers are just waiting until you and. Bill start fighting, then they'll dig ditches and put up more fences to make a road. When the sight's over, they’ll have the river drained down a foot and a half, and away across your property." x' "I think I can handle the farmers," Cord said. "Smoke, don’t try to run my business." "Wasn't trying to!" I snapped. "Cord, its going to look mighty bad if you and Bill Hageman don’t get together and talk. It’ll look like you’ve got something to hide, or else are trying to put the blame on him." "Could be it belongs there," Cord said. "And could be it don't," I said. “Well,” Luther said, dryly, “that was quite a speech, Smoke. 1 wish I’d made It” Cord gave him a darted glance of irritation, then said, “All right. Smoke, now will it look bad?" \ "This whole thing is heading for something that only a U. S. marshal ought to handle,” 1 said. “And a marshal would tak x long, careful look at anyone who didn’t do his damnedest to keep trouble from coming to a head.” Cord took a minute to think this over, and my argument must have had some effect, for he ' said, "AU right I’U talk to Bill, but that’s all I’ll promise to do," i (To Be Continued; 4 n —‘ —J

Delegates Are Named By Farmers Union Delegates To State Meeting Next Month Eli Dubach and Richard Moser were elected delegates to the Indiana Farmers Union annual meeting to be held in early February in Indianapolis, at the regular meeting at the Adams Central school Thursday night. ; Joe Hazelwood and Burl Johnson were chosen alternates to the convention. Resolutions to be presented to the convention were drawn up by the 74 members who attended the meeting. Bob Ehrman opened the meeting with two selections bn his Hammond organ. Oscar Brown led the group in prayer. Hugo Boerger read the minutes of the last meeting. Following the election, Mrs. Dora Pepple, of the state office, and Miss Rosemary Boezel. of national office, addressed the group. Farming, America s largest and most important business industry, has been in trouble for the past five years, it was pointed out. Unemployment in industry is now developing because of the lack of purchasing power of farmers. The farmer's only hope lies in congress, it was pointed out. The Farmers Union bitterly protests secretary of agriculture Ezra Taft Benson's recommendations before the Senate agriculture committee. “Continually lower farm prices of recent years have increased production and —destroyed the farmer’s net income. Further cuts will only bring greater disaster. The farmer’s union is opposed to the destruction of price and production controls, until other means are found to protect farm prices. The government must protect these citizens who cannot protect themselves. “Industry is operating at 70% of capacity production; with steel at 55%, this is their means of controlling production and setting prices. Farmers cannot produce unlimited in competition with the limited production of other segments of our economy. Therefore, it is up to Congress and is their responsibility to protect agriculture prices and production, otherwise we will have a repetition of the early '3o’s when the ‘free market’ worked, but destroyed our whole economy. “Purdue university’s recent eight-state farm survey exposed the fact that farmers are generally ready and asking for govern-

I ment action to protect farm prices. Only 15% wanted a free market, and more than . 50% wanted the government to take absolute responsibility for produc-j, tion and marketing. The remainder wanted a modified form of government help. “The Farmers Union believes that if agriculture cut ita production 70%, as Industry has, famine would stalk the land. Yet in a free market, thia is the only answer possible to gain parity. The Farmers Union opposes having hungry citizens to protect farm prices. They demand managed agricultural abundance as the first line of defense of western civilization instead.” Suspends Sentence For Crippled Thiel Admitted Theft Os Postoffice Money INDIANAPOLIS (Bl — Federal Judge Cale J. Holder late Thursday gave a suspended three-yea r prison term to a young father crippled with multiple sclerosis who had allegedly admitted the theft of money from a postoffice. Holder said the “only reason” he was placing Max L Ruehl, 27, on probation was because of "your illness.” Authorities said Ruehl, the father of two small children, confessed that he took a registered letter containing 118,000 from the Scottsburg Postoffice where he was employed as a carrier last August. Most of the money was recovered from a spot where authorities said Ruhl buried it in a woods near his home. In other action, Holder sentenced ' Norman V. Jones, 33, Shelbyville, to a one-year prison term when : Jones pleaded guilty to the theft ' of mail fro mthe Franklin Postof- ’ fice where he worked as a janitor A pre-sentence investigation was ordered for Stephen W. Tilson, 38, j Indianapolis. He pleaded guilty to t four counts of misbranding drugs , and selling drugs without prescripJ tion early last year. ■ T Household Scrapbook ’ | BY ROBERTA LEE | . ■ -- ' ----- - <o\ Cleaning Windows All dust should be brushed off the glass before cleaning a window Never use soap or it will leave an ugly film on the glass.
